Gladys, day 156... no change.
Flora, day 152, no change, but if shes anything like her sister shes got another 700 days to go.
Tootsie, day 152. Poofy back end and no ligs this morning, but we all know no ligs with tootsie means nothing. She has been putting more milk in the udder, hubby confirmed (hes not desparate for progress like i am). My other ober went on day 152.... maybe... i had to check close a couple times during the night as i thought she was pushing, she is just uncomfortable laying down.
I have officially gone crazy. I was up between alarms last night dreaming the girls were about to kid, had strings or feet out and id head out to find nothing hut disappointment.
Today would be a nice day for them to kid. Temperatures are good for today only.

I went out and checked everyone just after 10. Sat down, fed Oscar (house goat), finished watching border security, 15min, went back out to put oscar in with the babies and tootsie had water bags out, feet presented. Within 5 minutes she gave birth to a gorgeous baby girl and in another 15 minutes, she pushed, amd within 2.5 minutes we had a gorgeous baby boy on the ground. Both seem polled! Both are twice the size of gretels twins.

And beautiful Pearl.
Oh and guess what. I cant find gladys' ligs.

Cute kids, love those easy fast deliveries; they are the best.
I am sure it is in your journal or this thread, but what kind of goats do you have and do you own the buck too? Those look like alpines?
Is their sire or dam polled?

Gretel and tootsie are both oberhaslis, dq'd for pattern (gretel) and broken chamoisee (tootsie). both are polled
Flora and gladys are nubian/toggenburg/saanen cross.
I own the buck. The buck is a saanen with 2 spots with black hairs on him (sabeling).
Last year tootsie produced polled buckling off a nubian with horns
